George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
When he was a young boy, he liked to go exploring caves.
Until he got trapped in a cave because the rain flooded the tunnel.
One team of rescuers tried to dig into the cave, while another team worked out diving plans.
It took weeks to rescue him, because the news media were getting incredible ratings from their coverage of the event, and they kept sabotaging the rescue equipment.
After George was rescued, he learned his lesson: he made a point to kill any reporters among hostages he took.
